Little Falls, Minn., July 13th.
Probably one of the most gruesome sights ever witnessed in
Morrison county met the eyes of
Coroner Trebby this forenoon
when he viewed the remains of
three children, killed by their
father, John Wozniak, who had
slashed their throats with razor
while laboring under the delusion that owing to poor crops
the little tots would starve to
death.
John Wozniak, who lives a-
bout six miles southwest of Little Falls near the village of So-
bieski, has been acting queerly
for several days. Although he
has an excellent farm of 100 a-
cres, well stocked, he believed
that the crops would be poor
and that his children would
starve. Early this morning he
called the two older children
and told them to go and milk
the cows. Four other children
were in one room asleep in different beds. Mrs- J. Wozniak
stepped out of the house for a
few moments and this was evidently a chance Wozniak was
waiting for. While she was absent Wozniak took what is believed to have been a razor and
cut the throats of three of the
children as they lay asleep. The
children are: Tilla, 8 years old;
Louis, 5 years old, and Walter,
aged 6. He did not touch the 8
months old baby in a cradle
near by. He then went to the
kitchen and washed his hands
and was walking about the kitchen when Mrs. Wozniak returned. She soon realized what had
been done and screamed. Peter
Wozniak, a brother of the man,
living close by, heard the
screams and came to the home.
He asked his brother what he
meant and John replied: "Hang
me it you want to." This was
all he could get tire man to say.
Peter then took him to their
mother's place a mile away and
telephoned to the sheriff, who
immediately went out and got
the man.
Sheriff Felix states that when
he told Wozniak that he was
wanted, he answered, "All
right." He made no resistance
but refused to do any more talking. Sheriff Felix then notified
Coroner Trebby, who went to
the scene of the crime accompanied by Drs. E. L. Fortier
and F. H. Hoist and county attorney Rosenmeier. Evidence
of the crime was secured and a
number of neighbors questioned
regarding the murderer. Coroner Trebby will hold an inquist
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and several witnesses will probably be summoned. The coroner ordered the bodies brought
to Little Falls and they are at
the Simonet morgue.
Mrs. Wozniak, who is still in
a hysterical condition at the
home of her husband's brother,
is of the opinion that her husband used a razor. The officers
found one razor in the house
and an empty razor case, but
the second razor, which he is
believed to have had, could not
be located. Neighbors state
that Wozniak has been brooding much of late. Mrs. Wozniak
has been ill for some time and
was prepairing to go to Rochester for an operation next week.
Owing to the dry weather the
man has been brooding oyer
poor crop prospects and imagi-
ed that his children would
starve. He had just completed
a large new residence on the
place but had not moved into
it. He is considered well to do.

A County Food Administration convention will be held at

Tuesday, July 23 at 2 p. m.
Field Agent, Frank T. Wilson
of the Federal Food Administration will be present to address the convention and will
also answer questions in regard
to rulings issued by the State
Food Administration.
J. K. Martin, Morrison County Food Admimistrator is endeavoring to communicate with
all organizatidns in the county
urging them to have a representative at the convention as
the meeting is to be of considerable importance. All Local
Food Administrators have been
directed to be present at the
convention and invitations are
being sent out to food dealers
throughout the county, to pastors, school teachers, hotel, restaurants and boarding house
keepers, farm clubs, woman's
organizations, churches and fraternal lodges, the idea being to
have someone there representing these different organizations
so that they in turn can disseminate information obtained by
them to the members of these
various organizations throughout the county, it might happen
that some may be overlooked
in sending out invitations. Failure to receive such invitations
does not mean that the organization or person is not invited.
A representative meeting is
wanted and all who are in a
position to attend should do so.

administration measure which passed
the House July 5 by a vote of 221 to

regarding telephones to long distance

do or when.

over only trunk lines and connecting
